I am building a fairy garden on earth

Chapter 124

In Kunning Palace at this time...

Empress Zhang paced back and forth in the bedroom with a troubled face.

She wanted to go to Ci Ning to visit her good sister and find out about a certain thief by the way, but she also thought of the embarrassment of being discovered by the thief when she was peeping by the window last night...

What's even more exaggerated is that the thief obviously found out about him, but he still acted like nothing had happened, and worked harder to make out with the Queen Mother in front of him...

He didn't take himself, the master of the harem, seriously.

If he brought up this matter when he went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to find him, wouldn't he lose his face?

But if you don't look for such a big help from Xichang, if you are attracted by Concubine Zhou and Zhu Wenjing's mother and son, wouldn't it be a waste of money for you to fetch water from a bamboo basket?

How to do how to do…

at this time…

There were knocks on the door outside the bedroom, followed by the voice of the eldest prince Zhu Hong: "The child is here to greet the queen."

"Come in…"

Zhu Hong opened the door and entered, seeing his mother's face seemed to be sad, bowed and said: "Give me your mother's peace..."

He was precocious. He studied hard since he was a child. He was kind and not pedantic. After running the East Palace, he trained a large number of people. It can be said that before he was deposed, no one could shake his position as the prince!
The second prince and the third prince could not see any hope at all.

But he was in a hurry, in a hurry...

also failed...

After being imprisoned in the East Palace for more than half a year, he thought about a lot of things, and saw through a lot of things. He is obviously not yet crowned, but he already looks mature...

Empress Zhang thought of her child falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, her distressed eyes were a little red, and she said, "I have suffered a lot recently."

"It's not bitter, the child is not bitter..."

Seeing this, Zhu Hong also had a sore nose. He knew that it was his mother's operation that allowed him to be released from the ban.

Thinking of that time when my mother was crying all day long, thinking of my mother running around trying to get me out, thinking of my mother being wronged in order to help me go back to her natal home...

His eyes were also red, and he said in a choked voice, "It's because the child is unfilial and made the empress worry."

"What nonsense..."

Seeing this, Empress Zhang forced a smile on her cheeks, and blamed her: "You are my son, if I don't worry about it, who cares about it?"

"Mother..."

Zhu Hong hesitated for a while, and said: "My son knows that the queen mother is still running around for the position of the crown prince, and I came here today to let the queen mother stop messing around..."

His voice paused, as if he had figured it out, he said with some relief: "My son has figured it out, and that seat is not easy to sit in, my son...don't argue...don't want it either!"

"What nonsense!!"

Empress Zhang's face turned cold when she heard the words, and she felt her anger burst out, and she yelled, "You bastard, in order to save you, I didn't even hesitate... at all..."

Her voice paused, and her heart trembled when she thought of the fact that she was feeding a tiger with her body. She hurriedly changed the topic with a cold snort, and scolded: "You have high ambitions since you were young, how can you lose your mind because of such a small setback?" Upward heart!?"

"But the child really doesn't want the mother to work so hard..."

Zhu Hong leaned over and knelt down on the ground, and said sincerely: "Haier really figured it out, now that the position of crown prince is vacant, Haier's second and third younger brothers are all eyeing...

And the boy hates ghosts now, not to mention the hole cards, even if he doesn't have a single face in his hand...

If that's the case, it's fine, but it's more uncomfortable than killing a child because the tired mother is running around and being wronged! ! "

"Confused!"

Although Empress Zhang was relieved when she heard the words, she still snorted coldly and said, "Who said you have no cards to play?"

"..."

Zhu Hong was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, and said tentatively, "The queen mother means that Xu Boqing and Governor Xu of Xichang have returned to Beijing?"

"Ah."

Empress Zhang nodded slightly, but thinking that thief Xu might be cut off, she couldn't help feeling a little more depressed...

She didn't want her children to see that the matter hadn't been done yet, so she would lose her ambition.

He half-truthfully said: "Xu Boqing is not only the governor of the West Factory, but also the head of the internal affairs of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager...

And Bengong not only has a very good personal relationship with the Queen Mother, but also has a good friendship with Xu Boqing. You can be released because I entrusted him to operate secretly...

Some time ago when he was away on official business, I had already greeted the queen mother and sent someone to send a letter.

With this relationship, it shouldn't be difficult to win over..."

"Ah, this..."

Zhu Hong stood there dumbfounded.

After being imprisoned for more than half a year, he didn't really lose his ambition, it's just that he is alone now, with no one to use, and he doesn't want his mother to work hard for him anymore...

What the empress listened to now meant that she had prepared a card for herself in the dark, and it was the not-so-small Xichang! ?
How could he not be surprised by this?

"Humph……"

Empress Zhang glanced at him, saw him kneeling on the ground in a daze, and snapped, "Have you forgotten what you told me back then?

You said that if you climb over this mountain, there is the sea!
But now?You want to give up halfway?

Ok?
In Ben Gong's eyes, the current you are as weak as if someone had your spine taken away!I can't hold my head up either! "

"..."

Zhu Hong's breathing was stagnant, deep bewilderment was hidden in his eyes, his lips were murmuring but he didn't know what to say...

"My son has great ambitions, he is definitely not the cartilage person who can only kneel on the ground!!"

Seeing him clasping his hands, Empress Zhang gradually recovered something called ambition, and said, "I'll go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and you don't want to kneel here, go back and think about your future plans..."

Her voice paused, and then continued: "If there is no manpower, I will help you recruit people; if there are no cards, I will help you create cards!
But can you take it for your own use...

It's up to you...

But don't ask Bengong to negotiate with you. When he takes you to introduce him, but he doesn't like you, then Bengong will really lose face! "

After all, he walked out the door with a cold snort...

"..."

Zhu Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists and trembled all over, but his eyes were bloodshot...

He took a deep breath, then stood up and looked at himself in front of the vanity mirror. When he saw the haggard figure in the mirror, he raised his hand and slapped himself...

Even though his face was flushed red by the slap, he didn't take it seriously, and there was even a smile on his face...

Empress Zhang hesitated for a while after going out, and instead of going directly to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, she turned to the Palace of Yongning.

she thought about it...

Going to the Compassionate Ning Palace alone to find Thief Xu is not only unsafe, but also risks embarrassment. You have to find someone you know well to distract yourself...

She had just arrived at Yongning Palace and before she could rush in, she saw Concubine Zhou and the third prince Zhu Wenjing in Taoist robes and feathers coming out of the palace...

Looking at it, it seems that the third prince is leaving, and the concubine Zhou Gui came out to see her off...

Concubine Zhou Gui and the third prince Zhu Wenjing were also taken aback when they saw Empress Zhang, obviously they did not expect to meet Empress Zhang here.

Seeing her former good sister, Concubine Zhou's eyes were a little sharp at this time, and she pretended not to know and stepped forward to salute, and said softly and weakly: "I have seen the empress with the emperor."

And Zhu Wenjing's eyes moved slightly, and he also reacted, stepped forward to salute with a half-smile, and said: "My son Zhu Wenjing, I have seen the empress."

"..."

Although Empress Zhang felt a lot of resentment in her heart, seeing the two saluting, it was not appropriate to put on airs, so she said softly, "My sister and I have been in love for more than ten years, do you still care about these empty courtesy?"

"My sister taught me that."

Concubine Zhou still pretended not to understand, and said: "It's just that Jing'er is by my side, and as a mother, I naturally have to teach him the proper etiquette."

"My sister is serious..."

Empress Zhang sneered in her heart, glanced at Zhu Wenjing who was beside her, and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing is a dragon and phoenix among men, if he goes further in the future, it may be that this palace has to learn etiquette..."

"Your Majesty has offended my son and minister."

Zhu Wenjing pretended to be terrified, and said: "Brother Hong has been smart since he was a child, and he is a role model for my ministers to learn from. If he goes further, it must be Brother Hong's further progress. My ministers are not so lucky."
